Title
Flood, 1974, photo 1
Description
This image shows a garbage truck partially sunken into Appalachian Street at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in May 1974. The truck can be seen with its rear tire sunken into the pavement. Students can be seen standing outside the Varsity Gym, built 1968. The small flood was caused when the truck's tire sank into the pavement and broke a water line. This image appears in the May 2, 1974 edition of "The Appalachian" (p. 1).
